Wait, Wait...

On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the guest is Phillipa Soo, who created the role of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton in Hamilton, for which she was nominated for a Tony as Best Actress and for Emmy in the recent TV adaptation..  Not shockingly, her interview with host Peter Sagal is all about her experiences performing in Hamilton.  It’s very light-hearted and enjoyable, but I was disappointed (albeit not surprised) that there was no talk about her having starred in the musical adaptation of Amelie, which I saw in its pre-Broadway tryout and liked a great deal.

This is the full Wait, Wait… broadcast, but if you want to jump directly to the “Not My Job” segment, it started around the 19:45 mark.
